Ramsay prompts Australian inquiry

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has caused the Australian parliament to look at introducing new rules aimed at curbing swearing on television, according to Reuters.
Ramsay's programmes are very popular in Australia, where they are shown on free-to-air channels, but an episode that featured 80 uses of a four-expletive in 40 minutes has drawn the wrath of numerous commentators and groups, including the Catholic Church, which has called for Ramsay's shows to be scrapped or shown at a later time.
Anne McEwen, who is chairing an inquiry reported to Australia's upper house of parliament, saying: "People were offended by the way Ramsay directed his language towards restaurant staff in an abusive and aggressive manner."
The inquiry did not call for new laws to tighten censorship, but made recommendations for TV stations to review how they rate programmes, consider how they rate coarse language, and handle complaints.
